Mornin Castle (also called Moydow Castle)

Mornin Tower House like other Tower houses are a common form of castle in Ireland. Most are from the 15th and 16th centuries, but some date as late as the 17th century. They were the private residences of the affluent native Gaelic and Anglo-Norman families.

Mornin tower house is also known as Moydow Castle. It dates to the 16th century and is situated on a plateau which overlooks the surrounding flat landscape and would likely have been fortified by a wooden palisade fence when it was first built.
